Description:

We’re hiring a Baker Trainee who’s passionate about working with their hands, learning classic techniques, and starting each day with the smell of fresh bread and pastry. You’ll begin by supporting early morning prep — scaling ingredients, cracking eggs, and measuring flour to precise specifications. You’ll be trained to follow house recipes carefully while still leaving room for creativity and personal touch. You’ll be trained in measuring ingredients precisely and understanding how substitutions affect texture, rise, and flavor. You’ll rotate between tasks like mixing, baking, glazing, and plating — seeing the full process from start to finish. You’ll support early-morning prep, helping ensure fresh items are ready for opening by the time doors unlock. You’ll learn how to operate mixers, ovens, proofers, and cooling racks safely and efficiently. You’ll assist with keeping the prep area clean, labeled, and stocked — from flour bins to icing bags. You’ll be taught how to complete production reports, log batch numbers, and track product movement through the facility.

Basic Qualifications:

• Stay current on baking trends, seasonal flavors, and decorating techniques.
• Ensure all items meet consistent taste, texture, and appearance standards.
• Package, label, and display baked goods attractively for retail or delivery.
• Handle customer requests or complaints respectfully, especially in smaller bakery settings.
• Track supply needs and report low stock of flour, yeast, eggs, or other essentials.

Preferred:

• Thrives in fast-paced, hands-on environments where precision and timing are key.
• Able to clean equipment, follow closing procedures, and prep for the next day’s production.
• Understands the shelf life and storage requirements for different baked goods.
• Wants to grow into roles like Head Baker, Pastry Chef, or Bakery Manager.
• Open to learning seasonal items, specialty recipes, or new techniques as part of professional growth.

Benefits:

• We appreciate consistency, not perfection — but you’ll chase both anyway.
• You’ll never be bored — shaping, mixing, baking, decorating — it’s always hands-on.
• Opportunities to move into lead baker or kitchen manager roles.
• Fair pay, even for early hours — your time is valued.
• You’ll master an ancient craft — and make it your own.

You’ll receive training in vegan decorating — piping with coconut cream, glazing with maple syrup, or topping with seeds and fruits. You’ll get to interact with the front-of-house team and occasionally speak with curious customers or take special orders. You’ll rotate through prep, bake, and wrap stations to learn how plant-based bakeries run from start to finish. You’ll work alongside bakers who care deeply about health, sustainability, and creative experimentation. You’ll gain confidence working with delicate textures and unconventional ingredients that challenge typical baking norms. No experience is required — just a strong work ethic, love for food, and willingness to start early and learn fast. This internship is perfect for someone who prefers calm environments, consistent tasks, and the smell of fresh bread in the dark. If you’re ready to feed thousands by the batch and learn what it takes to bake at scale, we’re ready to train you.
